  • 12Palakkad.Compressed.Pdf
    GENERAL INFORMATION Palakkad District came into existence as an administrative unit on the 1st January, 1957. The ancient history of the District is closely associated with the mythical hero Lord Parasurama, said to have created Kerala and divided it into 64 gramams. According to William Logan, the author of the “Malabar Manual”, the Pallava dynasty of Kanchi might have invaded Malabar in the second or third century. One of their headquarters was a place called ‘Palakkada’ which could be the present day Palakkad. Malabar had been invaded by many of the ancient rulers. For centuries it was ruled by Perumals having powerful “Utayavars” under them to hold authority in their respective territories. After the rule of Perumals, the country was divided among these chieftains. The Valluva Konathiri (ruler of Valluvanad), the ruler of Vangunad (Kollangode Rajas) and Sekhari Varma, Rajas of Palakkad were the prominent rulers of those Perumals, the last being Cheraman Perumal. The emergence of royal dynasties and principalities in this tract came only after the break-up of Perumal’s empire. Of these Nadumpurayur Swaroopam and Tarur Swaroopam, Kollangode kingdom, Valluvanad and Kavalappara are important. A brief outline of these principalities is given in the following paragraphs. The earliest dynasty which is believed to have ruled the area falling in this District was the Nadumpurayur Swaroopam, Palakkad Rajas who were supposed to be descendents of this Swaroopam had their original seat in Athavanad amsom (Ponnani Taluk), but later they exchanged their lands with Azhuvancheri Thamprakkal and established their headquarters in Akathethara Village of Palakkad Taluk. Palakkad Rajas, who are considered as offspring’s of Namboothiri Brahmins and Kshatriya women, also owned the titles ‘Vadakke Naikkans’ and ‘Thekke Naikkans’.
